Is there anything in particular I need to be aware of of wary of when buying wheels on eBay?

Cheers

No different to any other retailer they are brand new and I suspect they'll be spot on for that price

Take a trip to Skidz in Falkirk Greg, there are several concave styles similar price to the eBay ones but you'll be able to see them. That's where I got my Zito 935s!

How noticeable is the ride difference between 18" and 19"?

Came across these 19s and they're tempting. My only problem now is that by the time I've put some half decent tyres on there in getting to the point where I could be buying Mr Wilks' Quantum's

Massive. Unless you go for a bigger Sidewall.

Here's how the 18s look!

I remember when putting 16" alloys on a nova was considered insane

Yes,and when I put 15inch alloys on my 1990 Cavalier,back in 92,when there were not alot of cars running anything more than 14s,lol.
Now our be Tiguan has 20s as standard

Still looking. Don't desperately need wheels for a couple of months yet but always got my eye open.

Budget has been upped to a MAX £650

Still got my eyes peeled for something within budget.

I noticed tonight that a set of wheels I'd been watching on eBay were just reduced 25%...

Can anyone advise the best tyre setup for these please? Comfort more important that a sleek look and j understand with the right tyres a 19" set can be decent.

Also if I'm looking for decent part worn branded tyres where should I be looking for these?

Thanks!

Very reasonable price , what i would say ( & they may be perfectly fine ) is the paint / lacquer on cheaper reps may not be the best so be prepared for a possible refurb should they start to look shabby after a winter or two .

Cheers for the advice. That kinda price leaaves me about £250 for rubber. Is that going to be enough for some good part worn or do I need to reset my expectation a bit?

£250 should get you a very decent set of part worns fitted + balanced . Would need to be patient to get 4 matchers though
